After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Chapter 228 Friendship

"Why save me? If you don't kill me, you can just leave me here."

Shen Ying's voice was calm, as if the person saying these words was not himself.

Hearing this, Rong Su shifted his gaze from the fire to Shen Ying opposite him.

In the light of the fire, Shen Ying's face lost its gloom, revealing some simple temperament, making people feel that he was extremely fragile at the moment.

"Heh. You're a villain who takes advantage of someone's weakness, but I'm not. I have no desire to kill someone who's been seriously injured. When your injuries heal, I'll fight you to decide the outcome."

Rong Su withdrew her gaze and spoke in a light voice. She was not sympathizing with Shen Ying, nor was she not considering him an enemy. What she said was her true thoughts.

Shen Ying was startled by Rong Su's words. He looked at her in a daze, then lowered his head. His voice was neither light nor soft, but extremely gentle.

But she could tell that he seemed to be thinking of an old friend.

"When I was young, I met someone. She amazed me throughout my teenage years."

"She seems a bit like you, both in appearance and personality, but the difference is that she loves to laugh. Her smile is like the most beautiful flower in spring. Once it blooms, it seems to surpass all other beautiful things."

Rong Su glanced at Shen Ying sideways. His expression at this moment was as gentle as spring water, and his eyes were filled with happiness that was sweeter than honey.

It seemed that he could feel happy as long as he thought of the person he was talking about.

But what does this have to do with her? Rong Su lowered her head silently, thinking in her heart that as long as Shen Ying fell asleep tonight, she would decide to leave.

Rong Su didn't say anything, so Shen Ying stopped wanting to continue talking. He saw the indifferent expression on the woman opposite him.

He couldn't help but lower his eyes and smile. It was unclear whether that smile was mocking himself for feeling helpless and having to confide in his enemy like a lover, or it was expressing sadness that no one could understand the tenderness in his heart.

Even though Rong Su saw all this, she didn't want to get to know Shen Ying in depth. This man had harmed Asoyi, and she would never let him go.

"I won't kill you now, but you've been poisoned by my poison. So, don't act rashly. Shen Ying, hand over the Secret Shadow Pavilion's leader's order. I can give you the antidote."

Rong Su stared at Shen Ying closely. She had already made up her mind that no matter whether Shen Ying gave it to her or not, she would do it after he fell asleep tonight.

Shen Ying's face was calm. When he looked up at her, he seemed to see what she was thinking. Without moving his hands, he asked calmly, "Do you know Xie Lian?"

Xie Lian? Hearing this name, Rong Su couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

This was not the first time I heard my mother's name from someone else's mouth.

The first time was from Yan Liang’s mouth, the second time was from Xuanyuan Yuance, and this time it was from Shen Ying.

Shen Ying stared at the micro-expressions on Rong Su's face, noticed her changes, and his tone became a little excited.

"You know Xie Lian! Who is she to you?"

Rong Su was still wary of Shen Ying. She narrowed her eyes and asked cautiously, "Why are you asking this?"

Having already concluded that Rong Su knew Xie Lian, Shen Ying's long-silent heart was beating violently. He seemed to ignore his own injuries and reluctantly moved his body and walked towards her.

Upon seeing this, Rong Su immediately pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, pointed it at Shen Ying, and said in a cold voice: "Stop! Don't come near me! Otherwise, I will kill you right now!"

Seeing Rong Su so wary of him, his eyes fell on the sharp dagger, the sharp edge flashing in the firelight.

Shen Ying didn't move towards her again. He just stood there with his head lowered. His deep eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of faint sadness.

"Can you tell me, Xie Lian, where is she? I've been looking for her for over a decade. But she's like a fairy who's returned to the celestial realm. I can't find any trace of her."

His voice was so trembling and sad, gradually becoming hoarse, and in the end his eyes were shining with painful tears.

Rong Su was a little surprised when she saw Shen Ying showing such compassion, but she remained on guard for a moment.

"What is your relationship with Xie Lian? Why are you looking for her? Is there a grudge between you and her?"

"How could it be! How could I kill her? She is me, the one person I will never hurt in my life. For her, I can give up everything. But, but in the end, she left, left..." Shen Ying's emotions suddenly became a little intense when he heard her words. He roared at her, then covered his face with his hands in sadness, his shoulders shaking violently.

Seeing Shen Ying like this, Rong Su became even more curious about the relationship between A Niang and Shen Ying. Judging from the attitudes of Xuanyuan Yuance and Yan Liang, A Niang seemed to be very famous. Now even the leader of the Miying Pavilion has such feelings for A Niang.

Rong Su's silence made Shen Ying's mood fluctuate. He was anxious and put down his hand. He asked again, "Tell me, okay? As long as you tell me where Xie Lian is now, I will give you this Pavilion Master token."

After he finished speaking, Shen Ying took out a golden token from his waist with a pleading look on his face.

Rong Su didn't expect that Shen Ying would voluntarily give up the token in order to find out the whereabouts of her mother, and he just looked sinister and wanted to plot against her.

But Rong Su just glanced at the token in his hand and had no intention of telling him. Shen Ying's eyes flickered a little in panic, and then he pointed at the dagger in her hand and suggested to her without any hesitation:

"Just tell me where Xie Lian is. I'll go see her, and you can take my life anytime you want."

This suggestion made Rong Su's eyes widen. She looked at Shen Ying in disbelief. This man was willing to sacrifice his life for the whereabouts of his mother?

His friendship with A Niang is so deep?

"Can I?" Shen Ying looked at her with almost pleading eyes, as if he would cry if she didn't say it.

Even though Rong Su regarded him as an enemy, she still felt a little surprised and uncomfortable when an elder showed such an expression in front of her.

After thinking about it, Rong Su no longer planned to hide the truth from the man in front of her. She said calmly, "Xie Lian is my biological mother. She passed away due to illness when I was very young."

The moment he finished speaking, Shen Ying's eyes showed astonishment, and then he seemed to have lost the strength to support himself. He fell heavily to one side and sat on the ground, his face looking as if he had lost his soul.

"How could it be? How could it be...she's dead...how could it be..."

Shen Ying murmured softly, his hoarse voice became choked with sobs, and his messy long hair trembled with his shoulders, stirring up a gust of cold wind of sorrow.

Seeing that he couldn't accept it and was so shocked, Rong Su felt that it would be better not to talk to him for the time being. She chose to move aside, shut up and stop talking to him, and close her eyes. Maybe it would be best to let him be alone for a while.

Gusts of cold wind penetrated the bottom of the cliff, whistling like the roar of a wild beast, and occasionally there was the sound of swaying trees.

Such horrific sounds of ghosts howling and wolves howling were particularly loud in the silent night.

Rong Su folded her arms and leaned against a rock, listening to the surroundings gradually become quiet. She slowly opened her eyes, and a shrewd gleam flashed in her eyes.

I turned my head to look at Shen Ying and saw that he seemed to have calmed down. He was leaning against a rock, and his breathing was very even. He must be fast asleep.

She thought for a moment, picked up a small stone from her feet and threw it towards Shen Ying.

There was a clattering sound of something falling to the ground, along with the sound of flames burning wood, but Shen Ying seemed motionless and looked like he was soundly asleep.

Rolling her eyes, Rong Su quietly stood up from the ground, and then walked over slowly with light steps.

When he got to him, his eyes fell on his waist, where there was a golden token.

Rong Su narrowed her eyes, squatted down without hesitation, and stretched out her hand, but when she was about to touch the token, she stopped in mid-air, staring at Shen Ying's sleeping face.

If he made any movement, she would take the initiative and knock him unconscious with a silver needle.

There was a silver needle in the hand behind his back.

Shen Ying showed no signs of waking up. Seeing this, Rong Su no longer considered it and directly took the token from his waist. Then she stood up and looked down at the token.

There is a large secret character engraved on the token, showing the nobility and elegance of the carving. It is obviously a token that is difficult to imitate.

She put the token away, then glanced sideways at Shen Ying, her gaze staying on him for a short while, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as she took two steps, Shen Ying's voice suddenly rang out, scaring Rong Su so much that her heartbeat quickened a little. She was also on guard and had already reached into her sleeve to grasp the dagger.

If Shen Ying takes any other action that is detrimental to her, she will make sure Shen Ying is beheaded.

Shen Ying didn't make any other moves. He just said to her, "Go to Yugu Pass. Shen Peiqing has been trapped in Yugu Pass by Shen Fengyu for almost a month. I think he's almost broken down now. He's out of ammunition and food. It won't be long before Shen Peiqing's entire army is wiped out."

This news was like a bolt of lightning that struck Rong Su's calm heart without warning.

Rong Su turned around in shock and horror, staring at Shen Ying's back: "What did you say?"

Shen Ying slowly turned around and faced her. Even though the corners of his eyes were still red, it did not conceal his original imposing demeanor.

"I won't repeat myself. I think you heard it clearly. Believe it or not."

Rong Su clenched her fingers and asked through gritted teeth, "Why did you tell me this news?"

Shen Ying actually didn't have to tell her. In that case, she would never know. Maybe when the news that was hard for her to accept came, she still wouldn't know. Maybe.

"Shen Fengyu's mother saved me. She helped me escape from the palace and hide my identity. Of course, the price I paid was to protect her son. Her son has something he wants, and I need to do my best to help him."

After hearing Shen Ying's words, Rong Su realized that Shen Ying helped Shen Fengyu because of Shen Fengyu's mother. That's why when she asked him before, he said it was for a promise. That's what he meant.

"In that case, by telling me this, wouldn't that mean you've broken your promise to your benefactor?" Rong Su had no choice but to question Shen Ying with such a suspicious attitude. It was true that Shen Ying was a more scheming man than she had imagined.

Who knows if he deliberately used this method to lure her to that place, and then notify Shen Fengyu to arrest her. After all, it would be difficult to catch her now that he is seriously injured.

Shen Ying seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled lightly, but there was no malice in his smile: "I have helped Shen Fengyu for so many years, which is enough for me to repay the favor I owe to his mother. Now it's time for me to do what I want to do."

There seemed to be a softer light in his eyes when he looked at Rong Su, but she could clearly feel that he missed her mother through her.

"If you really want to save Shen Peiqing, then don't confront Shen Fengyu head-on. Don't you have a Phoenix Army? It's time to take command." Shen Ying smiled gently at her and gave her reasonable suggestions very naturally.

Rong Su couldn't understand Shen Ying even more. In order to repay the kindness of Shen Fengyu's mother, he helped Shen Fengyu frame his other nephew step by step, but he could also choose to abandon his previous promise for the sake of her mother.

Shen Ying seemed to be able to see through her now, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't look at me like that. Now I just want to protect her child. That is you."

But when Rong Su heard it, she didn't feel moved at all and didn't want to accept Shen Ying's kindness.

"Don't think that I won't kill you just because of this, Shen Ying. You killed more than a dozen people from my Bai Tiao Sect, and I won't let this go."

Shen Ying smiled for a moment, then his smile deepened, as if he didn't care at all about her hatred.

"I know, and I can't argue with it. I'll wait for you to come back and kill me yourself."

"Also, since you have the token of the leader of the Secret Shadow Pavilion, you can mobilize the people of the Secret Shadow Pavilion at your will. There are Secret Shadow Pavilion disciples in all parts of the Three Continents. Just find the post station and ask."

He spoke to her on his own, ignoring her hatred.

Rong Su didn't want to stay with this crazy man anymore, otherwise she was afraid that she would turn back into her old self. He was like a virus, and she was afraid of being infected.

So she left the cliff valley without looking back.

Shen Ying stared at Rong Su's receding figure with a soft look in his eyes, "Indeed, she looks a lot like you, A-Lian."

-

Yugu Pass.

Mu Tou raised his head and looked at Shen Peiqing who was sitting on the stone. There was an obvious knife wound on the side of his face, but it did not diminish his handsome and cold temperament at all. Instead, it added a different kind of toughness.

"Master. Our food supply will only last for five days."

When Shen Peiqing heard this, he slowly raised his black eyes and looked around, where he saw soldiers with low morale.

They have been trapped in Yugu Pass for almost a month.

"If it weren't for Xiao Yilin's advice to Shen Fengyu, allowing him to take advantage of the people of Chicheng, and the deputy general falling into his trap, we wouldn't be trapped here until now!" Mu Tou was a little angry, but at the same time he felt sorry for the soldiers who had followed him through life and death. During this period, they lost nearly several hundred people.

At this time, one of the soldiers seemed unable to hold on and complained in a low voice.

"If we hand over the Phoenix Girl as the Crown Prince of Beizhou demands, we can all survive. Why not agree? After all, the Phoenix Girl is from Zhongdu, and with the current relationship between Zhongzhou and Beizhou, what's the harm in agreeing?"

When someone says something like this, it means that many people actually think the same way. So after he finished speaking, a few people followed his lead and started to join in the conversation.

"Yes."

"The Tianfeng girl is not from our Dongzhou."

"It's only natural to return her to Beizhou."

These words were undoubtedly a stab in Shen Peiqing's heart. Stone and Wood looked at each other at the same time, then Wood stood up and roared at the soldiers who were complaining.

"That's enough. If you have the time to talk like this, you might as well go find out about the situation of the Northern Continent Army!"

As soon as Mu Tou said this, the soldiers who had objections lowered their heads and dared not say anything more.
